Many times in your life you’ve been nervous about something you had to do. You were anxious about an upcoming test, deadline, or date. You were worried that you weren’t going to be able to pull it off, whatever it was. And you tried telling yourself that it would be okay, that you’d overcome – but the affirmations didn’t make you less nervous.
And then the moment came, and you were fine. Better than fine. You rocked it, and it felt like it was barely a challenge.
Until the next time. Until the next time, when the anxiety returned and your affirmations fell on your own deaf ears. But you kept telling yourself it was going to be fine, until one day.
Until one day, it worked. You’d finally been fine enough times that your brain believed itself when you said you were going to be totally okay.
If your affirmations don’t work yet, it just means you haven’t reached that point – yet. But you will. Keep telling yourself.
